1.General Information
1.3 Relay protection upgrade project

Replacing electromagnetic distance relay protections on 69kv transmission lines with 351 digital relays was done in 2000; Replacing electronic relays on 11kv feeders with DFP-100 and 351/551 digital relays was done in 2001; Replacing differential relays on 69/11kv power transformers with SEL-587 relays is in progress. The entire upgrade project that was from project design, settings calculation to relay programming, installing and testing, was carried out by APUA staff.

2.1 Fundamental Protection Feature

2.1.1 Phase-to-phase protection(positive-sequence protection 50P) Instantaneous over-current with time-delay(50PH ) Time-definite over-current (50PL) 2.1.2 Earth fault protection (zero-sequence protection 50N) Time-definite zero-sequence over-current (50N) 2.1.3 Under-frequency protection for load-shedding (81U1,81U1T) 2.1.4 re-closing One-shot re-closing (SH0) is activated only under phase-to-phase fault

2. Application of Digital Relay on 11kV Primary Feeders

2.2 Definition of protection zone

A. Phase-to-phase protection(50P)
Instantaneous over-current with time-delay(50PH), protects entire primary feeder and primary side of distribution power transformers; Time-definite over-current (50PL) as backup protection of 50PH and fuse links, protects entire primary feeder and both sides of distribution transformers.

Protection zone is shown in Figure 1 .

2.3. The trip-saving scheme A. Fuse link
Fuse link blows out first to clear faulted branch or distribution transformer

B. Phase-to-phase protection(50P)
Instantaneous over-current with time-delay(50PH) acts as backup protection for fuse links; Time-definite over-current (50PL) performs as remote backup protection for both 50PH and fuse links.

2. Application of Digital Relay on 11kV Primary Feeders

2.3 The trip-saving scheme (continued)
C. Earth fault protection(50N)
Time-definite zero-sequence over-current (50N) acts as backup protection for fuse links.

D. One-shot reclosing (SH0)

One-shot reclosing is activated under phase-to-phase faulty condition (Notice: Consider to avoid a human being or an animal to be shocked twice while carelessly touching a live conductor; one-shot re-closing is replaced by manual re-closing under earth fault circumstance).

2. Application of Digital Relay on 11kV Primary Feeders

2.4 The fuse-saving scheme
A. Phase-to-phase protection(50P)

Instantaneous over-current without time-delay(50PH) will immediately clear fault and then be locked by one-shot re-closing after circuitbreaker tripping.
After 5 seconds, the feeder will be closed by one-shot re-closing successfully if the temporary fault disappears at once; The permanent fault area will be isolated by related fuse link from entire feeder, or time-definite over-current (50PL) trips entire feeder

B. Earth fault protection(50N)

Functions as same as that in the trip-saving scheme

2.6 Under-frequency protection for load-shedding

a. Under-frequency protection with under-voltage supervision:

Use under-frequency trip (81UT) with under-voltage supervision(27U) logic to eliminate unnecessary trip under phase-to-phase fault. The trip logic is programmed as: trip=81UT*!27U

b. Circulatory change of trip sequence:

The different under-frequency settings and same over-current settings can be preset in each of 6 groups for circulatory change of trip sequence by activating certain settings group.

3.3 Reduce Duration of Fault Clearing a. The recommended time difference between adjacent relays is 0.4-0.6 Seconds for electromagnetic relays and 0.25-0.3seconds for digital/ electronic relays; b. The maximum time setting was coordinated as 2.60 seconds for previous electromagnetic distance relays numbered 11,13 and 14, and that for SEL digital relay protections at same location is 1.85seconds. c. The net decrease of time settings between two kinds of protections is 0.75seconds.

All event reports recorded in related relays can be immediately downloaded by 5040 software within few minutes once an event occurs. In accordance with the event reports listed in table, the event sequence and cause, conclusion can be easily obtained to guide system improvement.
